voting is not *the* answer
but voting is definitely part of the answer
organize, educate, protest, boycott, resist, build community, and more
but to do all of that and not vote is idiotic
and yes, as to your point: *only* voting is also idiotic
we both agree we need to change the system. *how* is the question. and getting people into power via the shitty old system to birth the new better system is absolutely a part of that
